Moving in the furniture ...

Here are some ideas from Pinterest of the modern idea of vintage distressed upcycling, I think this fits in perfectly with my theme of folk art and craft, the idea of never throwing anything out and always reusing and handing down.

In storage, we found a lovely vintage bookcase, although the design is simple, it is functional and will fit in with my project perfectly.

I used a power sander to strip back the varnish and then I will white wash it, giving a distressed look which is very current at the moment.
